For nearly 10 years, social media has been in the spotlight and, at the same time, a thorn in the side of many companies. Retailers in particular are constantly reminded of social media’s influence.

Instead of steeping themselves in expert tips and hacks, companies would be wise step back and remember what’s at the core of the social interaction: Social platforms are merely tools for achieving a higher goal, which is creating an engaged customer base of brand evangelists.

Americans Have Been Cursing at Automated Checkouts Since 1937

Who enjoys struggling with microscopic barcodes and unmarked bits of produce in the self-checkout lane? Nobody? Too bad; self-automated modules are here to stay.

"That's when Mickey Drexler first went to the Gap from a department store" and when "Les Wexner, of Limited fame and Victoria's Secret, invented the modern specialty store," he recalls. "That's when big box retailing started."

In April, he was pushed out of JCPenney after failing to turn it around, but he had plenty of wisdom to share on May 19, when he spoke at a View From the Top event. There, the newly minted founder of the Johnson Partners investment fund revealed what three decades in retail has taught him.

Why Retailers Keep Sending You Catalogs

Many things made with paper have become relics because of computers and the Internet: the Rolodex, multi-volume encyclopedias, even physical maps. Now take a look in your mailbox or somewhere around your house. There's a good chance you'll see a shopping catalog, maybe a few of them now that it's the holiday season. So why, in the digital age, are they still around? Source: Here's Why Retailers Keep Sending You Catalogs : NPR Rights to all content (text, images, videos etc.) with post source.
